Chapter 4:
Raven took off her cloak as she sat on the bed, once again with a headache. The pressure of getting into Robin's head was very difficult, and was taking a toll on her powers and head.
"My personalities...maybe they have some advice." She convinced herself as she got up off of her black silk blanket and headed for her mirror. She closed her eyes and crossed her legs, levitating in front of the glass, muttering her chant, "Azarath, metrion, zynthos...azarath, metrion, zynthos!" Her eyes shot open as she used her powers to open up a swirling purple portal in front of her.
She stood up and got on her dresser, crawling through the swirling vortex that was once her mirror. Her eyes closed once again as she spun wildly, heading for the dark world. As she twirled in the black and white, she saw glimpses of Robin's face, tear streaked and full of hurt and pain. She reached out for him, but then it dissapeared with the turn of his head. She opened her eyes and looked down, seeing the opening to the unknown world. In her heart she felt rejection and lonliness.
"Wait...I've never hated being alone..." She stopped short as she landed, and her personalities encircled her. The pink one appeared in front of her, smiling and cheery. "Hi Raven! Glad to see you!" She screamed with delight of seeing her own self. Another one stepped up and looked at her with a pale face. "Is something wrong?" Raven shook her head lightly. "Hi worry. And yes, something is wrong." They all gasped, acting like it was a big deal.
"What's wrong then!?" The pink one covered her mouth in shock and worry. Raven rolled her eyes at her personalities over-reaction. "My friend Robin--" "Oooh! That's the one you like isn't it?" She was cut short by the pink one, which agitated her, and she turned red at the mention of her liking him. "I do not like him that way! And he needs my help!" She finished, all the others looking at her. The yellow one was the first to walk to her. "We'll help you Raven." The the pink one hugged her tightly, making her turn red from lack of breath. "Yes Raven, we will help you in any way possible!" Raven smiled at her. "Thanks Happiness." Happiness nodded, thankful that Raven was willing to accept help. Of course, that's the only reason she came here right?
She began walking over to a tree which was leaning downwards with no leaves. The others followed her willingly, all of them scaring off the black crows that still lingered there. Raven sat down with a thud, her personalities not far behind her. Looking up, she started telling them what was wrong with Robin.
"He came in the HQ, with bruises, cuts, and even burns all over his body. He didn't say anything and just ran up the stairs, locking himself away in his room. When he did come out, he was all gothic, and he had on black makeup, and the smile that was usually on his face was gone...it was as if everything was drained out of him. He spoke with no emotion, which is not normal for him, and he shunned all of us away from him. He wouldn't let us help him..." Tears filled in her eyes as she continued, she just couldn't stand seeing one of her teammates this way.
"Beast Boy and Cyborg were arguing over what could be wrong with him, and I think that Cyborg is right..." She trailed off, getting lost in thought. Happiness jabbed her in the ribs, sending a sharp pain through her body. "Oh...sorry." She muttered.
"What did Cyborg say?" Happiness asked with all attention on Raven, her eyes never leaving her counterpart. Raven looked away and then back to her, trying to remember the full conversation. "He said it could be family problems, and Beast Boy, yesterday he said he remembered Robin talking about his dad being a drunk and could be abusive...and that's all I remember." She said, rubbing her temples, the headache getting stronger. Worry placed a hand on Raven's shoulder, trying to reassure her and calm her down.
"Do you think it might be...his dad abusing him?" Raven said with slight emotion, her eyes shimmering with tears. She had never had emotion for any of the other teammates like this before. 'What's wrong with me?' She asked herself as she looked at her circle of personalities, who were also in deep thought. One sat at the end of the ledge staring into the fog, one hung upside down while closing her eyes, one was meditating, and the others were just sitting there saying nothing as well.
"It could be...I mean, if he was brused and cut and stuff. It's very possible that is what it is." Worry said quietly, but just loud enough for Raven to hear. Raven nodded to agree with her, but looked down again, shivering. The picture of Robin's refusal to look at her made her insides feel...strange. Robin was always willing to be around her, and now...he refused to be with anyone. She shrugged slightly, thinking to herself that it was a phase he was going through, but he wouldn't have hurt himself and then go gothic at the same time. It was just too confusing for her.
After another hour or so with her counterparts, she thanked them and crawled back through the portal, making sure her eyes were open so that she wouldn't see Robin again. When she was back in the comfort and safety of her room, she changed into her pajamas and pulled back her covers, laying on her bed and staring at the ceiling. She couldn't sleep, for it was only 7:30, but she decided it was best to rest to get rid of her headache.
After several minutes, she sat strait up in bed. She could hear voices coming from the hallway, muffled and deep. She slipped out of bed and slid her door open an inch or two to see Cyborg and Beast Boy standing in the hall. She sighed heavily, relieved it was only her two teammates, still arguing. Raven shut the door once again after they were completely gone, crawling back into bed and laying on her side, staring at the metal door laying in front of her. She knew Robin's room was right down the hall, and all she had to do was walk strait down there and talk to him, but of course he wouldn't listen. She sighed again and closed her eyes, trying to focus on something else other than Robin.
Starfire, on the other hand, was sitting on the couch still after Beast Boy had left her. Cyborg had come down for a glass of milk and the two went at it again, leaving her all alone with her thoughts. She decided it was time to talk to Robin, and left for his room.
